Atha kho Bhagavato etad-ahosi: Then this occurred to the Gracious One: The Great Chapter - 44 “Kahaṁ nu kho etarahi pañcavaggiyā bhikkhū viharantī” ti “Where are the group-of-five monks dwelling now” Addasā kho Bhagavā dibbena cakkhunā visuddhena atikkantamānusakena The Gracious One saw with the divine eye which is purified and surpasses than of (normal) men pañcavaggiye bhikkhū Bārāṇasiyaṁ viharante Isipatane Migadāye. that the group-of-five monks were dwelling near Bārāṇasī, in the Deer Park at Isipatana. 102 [Upako Ājīvako] [7: The Abstainer Upaka] Atha kho Bhagavā Uruvelāyaṁ yathābhirantaṁ viharitvā, Then the Gracious One, having dwelt for as long as he liked yena Bārāṇasī tena cārikaṁ pakkāmi. left on walking tour for Bārāṇasī. 103 Addasā kho Upako Ājīvako Bhagavantaṁ The Abstainer 104 Upaka saw the Gracious One antarā ca Gayaṁ antarā ca Bodhiṁ addhānamaggappaṭipannaṁ, going along the highway between the Bodhi (tree) and Gayā, 105 disvāna Bhagavantaṁ etad-avoca: and after seeing (him), he said this to the Gracious One: 102 Uruvelā, where the Buddha Awakened, was in Magadha, whereas Bārāṇasī was the capital of the neighbouring state of Kāsī. 103 Jā Nid says this took place on the morning of the 14th day of the fortnight, which would only give the Buddha a day to reach Isipatana, about 250 km away; Mahāvastu is more realistic, giving much more detail which, when we inspect it would mean the Buddha took at least a week to make the journey, see Uruvilvā to Ṛṣipatana elsewhere on this website. 104 He belonged to the Ājīvaka sect founded by Gosāla Makkhaliputta, one of the six famous teachers in Lord Buddha’s time. The title of the sect indicates that they were known to have special rules in regard to their livelihood (ājīva), and abstained from taking support from various people or in various circumstances. 105 According to Mahāvastu the meeting took place at Cundadvīlā, which is mentioned elsewhere in the Pāḷi texts as Cundavīlā.
I. The First Teachings - 45 “Vippasannāni kho te āvuso indriyāni, parisuddho chavivaṇṇo pariyodāto, “Your faculties, friend, 106 are very clear, purified is your skin and bright, kaṁsi tvaṁ āvuso uddissa pabbajito on account of whom, friend, did you go forth ko vā te Satthā, kassa vā tvaṁ Dhammaṁ rocesī” ti or who is your teacher, or what Dhamma do you prefer” Evaṁ vutte Bhagavā Upakaṁ Ājīvakaṁ gāthāhi ajjhabhāsi: After this was said, the Gracious One addressed the Abstainer Upaka with verses: “Sabbābhibhū Sabbavidūham-asmi, “All-Conquering, All-Wise am I, 107 Sabbesu dhammesu anūpalitto, Undefiled in regard to all things, Sabbañjaho taṇhakkhaye vimutto Having given up everything, liberated through the destruction of craving, Sayaṁ abhiññāya kam-uddiseyyaṁ Having deep knowledge myself, who should I point to (as Teacher) 108 Na me Ācariyo atthi, sadiso me na vijjati, There is no Teacher for me, 109 no one like me is found, Sadevakasmiṁ lokasmiṁ natthi me paṭipuggalo. There is no person equal to me in the world with its gods. Ahañ-hi Arahā loke ahaṁ Satthā Anuttaro, I am a Worthy One in the world, I am the Unsurpassed Teacher, Ekomhi Sammāsambuddho sītibhūtosmi nibbuto. I am the One Perfect Sambuddha, cool and passionless. 106 Āvuso is a contraction of āyasmanto, a plural form, normally used politely when addressing an individual. 107 First verse = Dhp 353. Comm: sabbābhibhū ti sabbaṁ tebhūmakadhammaṁ abhibhavitvā ṭhito, sabbavidū ti sabbaṁ catubhūmakadhammaṁ avediṁ aññāsiṁ; All-Conquering means he stood having conquered all states in the three grounds (of existence), All-Wise means he knew and understood all states in the four grounds (including Emancipation). 108 Comm: kam-uddiseyyan-ti kaṁ aññaṁ “ayaṁ me Ācariyo” ti uddiseyyaṁ, who should I point to means what other should I point to saying, this is my Teacher 109 The commentary makes clear that this refers to being a Teacher of the Supermundane state (Lokuttaradhamma), of course the Bodhisatta is not forgetting his mundane teachers.
